Scientific paper

The suggestion by Elliot et al., (1989) that a haze layer near the surface of Pluto may be photochemical in origin and similar to the aerosol hazes in the atmospheres of other outer solar system bodies is evaluated. The nature of hazes which may be produced in the Hubbard et al., (1989) atmosphere is explored as well. It is concluded that the very low pressure in Pluto's atmosphere requires an aerosol production rate equal to the total maximum methane photolysis rate expected at Pluto.
